The aroma of Kiachl fills the air and lights twinkle—but finding a parking spot in the city center is often a challenge, especially on weekends. Park & Ride offers a solution: Park at the Hafen Event Center or at Olympiaworld, from where you can reach the heart of the Christmas magic in just a few minutes by bus or tram. And you can reach the highest of all Christmas markets by mountain railway. This way, the journey itself becomes the first festive moment of Advent, rather than a time-consuming and nerve-wracking ordeal.
Here's how: Arrive stress-free by car, bus, or (mountain) train
Whether by Park & Ride, bus, train, or even the mountain railway: These routes offer a stress-free way to reach the Christmas markets in the Innsbruck region.
